Can I use the content someone else uploads to my website?

Answer:

Do you have a set of Terms and Conditions? If you do, it is best to check what your Terms and Conditions say. Generally, a strong set of Terms and Conditions or Terms of Use will require users who upload content on your website to confirm that they have rights to license you to use that content either on the same website or elsewhere. This may not, however, be the case, for certain websites, including websites where users may share valuable intellectual property.
